“Our communities have suffered for so long in silence and life has become unbearable. The police kill us, mothers are left without sons while others are left widowed with the responsibility of raising their children without fathers,” convener Wilfred Olal said.

He spoke at the Mathare Social Justice Centre during the launch of the campaign.

How the police condemn extrajudicial killings, they deny the high numbers and say only a few rogue officers may be involved.

The lobby includes friends and relatives of victims from Mathare, Dandora, Kayole, Kamukunji and Githurai.

“We have come together as the voice of our communities to demand an end to extrajudicial killings and demand that investigations be carried out and the perpetrators brought to book,” John Mulinga from the Kamukunji Human Rights Defenders said.
